Phone number ☎️ 07902492739 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting churches and charities across the UK, with the caller often identifying himself as Thomas, Ryan, or Kolieal Brooks. The caller typically claims to be a veteran or homeless individual in urgent need of money - usually around £29 to £55 - for travel fares from various locations such as Wigan, Lancaster, or Bolton. The stories involve being robbed, attacked, or displaced, sometimes mentioning a charitable organisation named Emmaus, though details and addresses given are frequently false or unverifiable. The caller often requests money be sent to a family member’s bank account and exhibits a well-rehearsed yet suspicious narrative. Multiple reports emphasise the importance of not transferring money, verifying claims independently, and reporting the number to curb this ongoing fraud.

2 monthsThis bloke calls himself Thomas Baldwin now, but the first time he rang it was under the name Ryan Brooks. We cracked it straight away that he’s trying to con us. Same rubbish stories he’s been spinning, just like loads of people have mentioned before. Don’t bother picking up or sending any cash his way. Always watch out for people pushing you to hurry up and send money - it’s a dead giveaway.Thomas BaldwinRyan Brooks2 monthsWe got a call from a bloke named Thomas Baldwin at our church in Corby. He said he’d lost a family member and went to the funeral, then had a mishap where he lost his wallet. He asked if we could send him £39.25 so he could get back to Corby. I decided to look up the number online and was disappointed to find out it’s a scam. It’s proper upsetting because there are folks out there who truly need help, but scammers like this make everyone suspicious and less willing to lend a hand.Thomas BaldwinCorby7 monthsI'm so glad I looked up this number first! Our church in Thame received a call from someone named 'Thomas Balwin' on 07902 492739, who claimed he'd been for a job interview in Wigan and was stuck there. He asked if we could send £29.90 for his bus ticket back. I tried to reach Citizens Advice, then our local council to verify things. Just as he called back, asking if the minister had replied, I was checking his number online. I called him out, saying it seemed like a scam, but he insisted it had something to do with Emmaus or something.ThameThomas BalwinWiganCitizens AdviceEmmaus7 monthsJust like the others have said, I got a call from someone claiming they were stuck in Wigan and needed train fare back to Woolwich. The way he said Woolwich was way off, like he’s never been around here before. He said the amount was exactly £39.40. I told him to send me his bank details in a text so I could speak to a church trustee first. Then I had a look on this site. Cheers to everyone for sharing their experiences.WiganWoolwich8 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be from a church, asking me to pay for a coach trip from Wigan. I checked up on their church a bit but the address they gave me turned out to be totally fake.Wigan8 monthsScammer. Son story targeting churches. Proceed to get payment details and report that too.8 monthsTotal scam. They come up with some tale and go after churches. Dont give them any payment info, and make sure to report it.8 monthsA bloke calling himself Thomas Baldwin got in touch with our church office, asking me to get back to him. He said he’d been to a few services but didn’t know me by name. He was looking for help getting from Wigan to Carlisle. He said he lived at 22 Abbey Street in Carlisle - but that address doesn’t exist. Some other parts of his story seemed fishy too. When I looked up the mobile number on the internet, it turned out to be linked to a donation scam.Thomas BaldwinWiganCarlisleAbbey Street10 monthsI’m a pastor based in Yeovil and we got the same call from a Thomas Baldwin, saying he was stranded in Wigan and needed cash for a train ticket home to Yeovil. Sounds like he’s been stuck there for quite some time now!!!YeovilThomas BaldwinWigan10 monthsSomeone rang the Vicarage yesterday saying they were stranded in Wigan and needed money for a train ticket home to Coventry. I wasn’t buying the story and told them I couldn’t assist. Today, they've phoned back a few times, leaving messages saying they were in a real bind, using the name Thomas Baldwin. Feeling a bit sorry, I called the number back, but got voicemail from the same person who then mentioned a different name, something like Kyle Brooks. That’s when I realised it’s likely a con, so I decided to check them out here.VicarageWiganCoventryThomas BaldwinKyle Brooks10 monthsThis was the exact same con as others have said - some guy trying to get cash for a train ticket through bank transfer, saying he’ll pay me back once he gets his pay!10 monthsGot the same sort of scam call, this time someone stranded in Reading asking for cash to get a train home. I had a really similar call about a year back, pretty sure its the same bloke.Reading10 monthsCheers for sharing the number that texted ya. Every reported message to 7726 helps stop annoying and dodgy texts getting through to folks. You can find more about scams on your mobile provider's site.10 monthsGot a call from someone saying he was "Thomas", trapped in Wigan, needing £29.25 for a train ticket to the Burnley/Colne area. Said he wanted to speak to the vicar. The churchwarden recognised him as the same person who called about 9 months ago - mentioned in previous reports. Offered to call him back but decided against it. Planning to report the call to the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer.ThomasWiganBurnleyColne11 monthsCalled our church offcie a couple times tonight but never dropped a voicemail.1 yearHad a similar experience just now. Got a call at our church with someone asking for the pastor, said they were from Emmaus Telford. They even gave me a police case number which seemed pretty real at first. I was just about to ring 101 to verify when I spotted this thread. Big thanks to everyone who's shared their stories here before, it really helps!Emmaus Telford1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were with Emmaus Birmingham, but I’m actually way down south. Seemed dodgy to me.Birmingham1 yearthey kept calling over and over, trying to get cash out of me. really pushy about it.1 yearSomeone rang me up claiming they’d been mugged around Lincoln and needed cash urgently. They kept giving dodgy details about where they were supposed to be, sounded pretty fishy to me.Lincoln2 yearsLike a few others have said, this bloke claimed he was called Tom and said he was from York but actually stuck in Bridgend, South Glamorgan. Said he'd been assaulted and couldn't get back to North Yorkshire. He wanted £29.95 for a bus ticket to get home. He even threw out two different bus times the same day to try make it seem really urgent. We didn’t fall for it and made a report instead.TomYorkBridgendSouth GlamorganNorth Yorkshire2 yearsGot a call from the same number, bloke said his name was "Thomas". Went on about being at Emmaus in Peterborough which I don’t think is a real thing, and dropped the CEO’s name who actually runs the place in Bolton. He reckoned he’d been mugged down in South Wales, but I’m around Peterborough myself. Too dodgy for me.ThomasEmmausPeterboroughBoltonSouth Wales2 yearsGot three calls at the church office from this number. The story was pretty much the same as other people said. They asked for £29.95, supposedly for a coach ticket from Bridgend to Hereford. They gave a crime reference number and said they were from a Homeless Charity that had been burgled. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.BridgendHereford2 yearsThis sounds just like what others have mentioned. I’m a minister based in Norwich and got a call from someone named Ryan Brooks. He claimed he’d been assaulted and needed cash to get a train back to Norwich because Emmaus, the organisation he said employed him with, weren't helping him out. He even mentioned our affiliated church, so it seemed legit at first. However, he messed up some facts that raised my suspicions. When I rang Emmaus, they told me he’s actually a known scammer to them.NorwichRyan BrooksEmmaus2 yearsPretty much the usual story really. I’m a Pastor up in the North East and this bloke rings up asking for cash for travel expenses, claiming he’s a veteran. Being a vet myself, I asked him for his regimental number, which any real veteran would know straight away. Of course, he couldn’t produce it. This is the second time he’s tried this with me in the past year - total con job.North East2 yearsThis is such a familiar tale! Apparently, he claimed he had to return to Emmaeus in Burnley, and the "ticket for the train" came to £49.95. He initially called one of our churchwardens but insisted on speaking directly to the vicar. Seems like he assumes the church folk won't question him much!EmmaeusBurnley2 yearsJust like another person mentioned, I got a call from a bloke called Ryan Brooks asking for £39.95 to get from Lancaster back to Scunthorpe. He said he’d been mugged or something, lost his shoes and coat and all that, and claims to have a crime reference, but not for his phone. He mentioned he needed to get back to somewhere called Emmaus in Scunthorpe or he'd lose his spot there. Thing is, I don’t think there’s any Emmaus in Scunthorpe at all.Ryan BrooksLancasterScunthorpeEmmaus2 yearsPretty much what other folks have said. Got a call from a guy calling himself Mr Brooks. Said he’s an ex-serviceman, been in some trouble, and needs help getting back home to Chadderton, which is in Oldham, from Lancaster. He asked if I could send some money to his mum’s bank account. I’m a Vicar here in Oldham myself.OldhamBrooksChaddertonLancaster2 yearsGot a call from the same bloke, he kept going on about needing cash to travel from Lancaster to North Shields. Sounded believable enough. I work with a care group at my local church, and the Pastor gave me his number. Cheers for the heads up. He kept pestering me about which church I belonged to, so it’s obvious he’s ringing around lots of people. Then I ended up speaking to his “brother” Ryan too, so it’s definitely some kind of team running the scam.LancasterNorth ShieldsRyan2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a vicar in Bromsgrove, with a story not unlike others I've heard. He said he just got out 12 months ago and has PTSD, came from a regiment that apparently was disbanded back in 2006. He wanted cash for train tickets to get to a place locally before 9.30am. He couldn’t recall his service number and asked me to send money to his mum's bank account. Said I'd send him a text to get his service number, but after reading up on these types, I never did. Spoke quite quietly with a Northern accent. Name given was Colin Brooks.BromsgroveNorth EastNorth WestColin Brooks2 yearsThis bloke said he was an ex-soldier needing some cash for a bus ticket from Lancaster to Gateshead. He rambled on with a loads of excuses. Didn’t give him a penny.LancasterGateshead3 yearsI just spoke to him on the phone! He told me the same thing as everyone else mentioned. I’m actually a Vicar from Tamworth.Tamworth3 yearsGot a call from this number a short while ago. They gave the same name, repeated the same tale, and mentioned the same sums of money. Only this time, they were talking about Basingstoke instead.Basingstoke3 yearsThis number also rang me up, asking if I could send money to his mum’s account with pretty much the same tale as before. I told him I’m not comfortable sending cash to someone I don’t know online. If he ever came to my Church, we’ve got a hardship fund in cash to support folks going through tough times.3 yearsSo on the 20th of November this year, I got a call about needing money for a train ticket from Bolton to Swindon for some property that had to be visited by 10 that night. I'm a minister myself. The voice came across a bit odd, like it might be AI or something, but if it was, it was impressively realistic.BoltonSwindon3 yearsGot a call on my phone today, 20/11/23, some bloke wanting to chat to the 'Minister', which apparently was me. He said he’d just got out of the army, was sleeping rough in Bolton, and needed £53 for a train ticket to Swindon or else he’d lose a flat someone had supposedly given him. Total scam, number was 07902492739.BoltonSwindon3 yearsGot a call on our landline from a guy claiming to be a veteran seeking support for himself. He wasn't speaking with a British accent, and he asked for a mobile number, which I refused to share. He did know our name, but since we’re a charity, our details are pretty easy to find online. Honestly, the voice came across quite robotic, almost like it was AI, but maybe that’s just me reading too much into it.Submit Your Own Report (07902 492739)
